Look At All the Stripes

Because you can never have enough cat pictures in your blog: I present Pokey with yet more fabric. Monday I hit two different quilt shops and bought fabric (with apologies to my sweetie). Bright fabrics with white, plus a new blue that hadn't been there before (but I am still cursing the fabric manufacturers for such a poor representation of that color in their fabrics this year and the fact that I have TONS of blues but they are all far away with the rest of my stash) and the black fabric with buttons because darnit I guess there are going to be novelty prints in there after all and at least it's quilting related fabric, sorta.

Look at all the striped fabric. Rather unbelievable and that's several different manufacturers represented there. I'll cut them all with the stripe, rather than against. Some of these are more pastel than I'd usually go for, but what the heck. I just really like that darn brassiere fabric in the bottom center of the pic - I think it's a hoot.

I never have enough time on the computer these days - I just seem to be taking a holiday from it I guess. I have loads of links to give you, but that will have to wait for another post, or else Pokey is going to nip me again. She's very insistent these days, not to mention fussy. She's gotten tired of the treats she was eating and now wants something new. What baby wants, baby gets.

yep, you found some that I own as well-the black jigsaw fabric-one of the border fabrics for the quilts I am now cutting for. I also have a lot in purple batik with the jigsaw shape on it...yummy. well done Ton, more fabric was a must.

I have a couple yards of the bra fabric too. Why did I buy it? No clue.

Stripes are always an excellent fabric purchase. You never know when you will see the colorway again and you can gets some pretty cool effects sewing with them. If you can bear to cut into them, that is.

About Me

I live in Florida with my seven cats and my husband. I've been a quilter since 1987 and consider my style liberated and non-traditional traditional (think Gwen Marston, Gee's Bend, and string quilts) and I watch way too much tv while sewing and hand-quilting.
